    Lmao wtf, like 80+% of Christianity as a thing in the first place is JUST the way Jesus (and, in the telling and by extension - the entire New Testament…?! Hello?) supplants the barbaric nature of the Old.

    Whole new covenant, and all? I mean I’m just a godless heathen, guess I oughta take my cues from…checks notes…ahem some horrible prick named Wes Groggins, who sure doesn’t sound like a fictional character named to suggest the role “antagonist/heinous troll”.

    Cool Christians, cool stuff y’all got going on. Jesus would be all over this, just like, “wow, this is my kinda saving souls! Y’all are really killing it down here. Err…” 🙄

      Matthew 5:17 is pretty clear about this:

      17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

      Jesus also condoned slavery by making statements like this (Old Testament law is very clear in its support of slavery), and telling people to obey their masters, all the while never once saying a single negative thing about the act of owning other human beings as property. Despite being literally constantly surrounded by slavery.

      Everything that happens makes a whole lot more sense if you view Trump as the anti-Christ, and his following is the false prophets that I believe the Bible specifically warns about. (but to be fair I’ve mostly read condensed summaries on this)
